But with poetry as luminous and embracing as Dorothy Walters' works, we can be forgiven for lingering and appreciating its delicacy and power. In this, her latest volume of poetry, she unfolds the mysteries of the divine feminine, the great Goddess who delights in creating all forms, as well as delighting in dissolving all forms into the fathomless abyss of dark silence, which to even approach overwhelms one with ecstasy. Dorothy's words are like radiant sparks emerging from that darkness, birthed by the womb of the universe Herself, and always pointing back to their Source. True seekers and lovers of the Divine from all traditions will delight in what issues forth through Dorothy's inspired pen. That Dorothy can give expression to these divine gifts is a testament to her many, many years of being worked on by the hands of the Divine. I deeply appreciate what she pours forth for all of us to imbibe. Lawrence Edwards, PhD, Author of "The Soul's Journey: Guidance From The Divine Within" and "Kali's Bazaar."
